Duvio won the Allstate Sugar Bowl Track and Field Championships last Saturday with a meet record height of 17-1. One week earlier, Kirillov soared to 17-2 to set a meet record in winning the Georgia Intercollegiate Invitational on March 19 at Georgia Tech.

Duplantis, Louisiana’s Class 5A state champion a year ago, enters with a personal best of 16-10 set at the Lafayette Oil City Relays on March 18. Also entered is Cameron Meyer, a 16-foot vaulter from Hamilton Christian in Lake Charles.

They are taking aim at the MCC record of 16-6 set by Jordan Scott from Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Ga., in 2006.

Duvio is coming off a compelling performance at the Sugar Bowl meet in which he competed on a severely sprained right ankle and faced elimination on his opening height before clearing 14 feet on his third attempt. The Curtis senior then cleared three more heights on what were potential elimination attempts measuring 15-6, 16-6 and 17-1.

Duvio’s ankle sprain occurred two days before his competition when he slipped and fell after unsuspectingly stepping into a puddle of dog urine at his Kenner home. His family was dog-sitting three animals for some relatives.

“Amazing is really the only way that you can describe it,’’ Duvio said of his performance and the preceding events leading up to it.

And get this, he cleared 17-1 using a pole rated for 15 feet rather than the customary 15-7 length used in vault attempts of 17-feet plus. The 15-foot pole was the longest he owned.

Duvio has not practiced this week and isn’t expected to do so as he allows the ankle to strengthen.

“(The ankle) feels a lot better, but I think I’m going to rest it some more,’’ Duvio said Wednesday. “I don’t think it’s going to affect me too bad. I think it will actually help me because the ankle will be rested.’’

Duvio actually is no stranger to competing on limited prep work. He usually practices Mondays and Tuesdays before big meets and then shuts his physical activity down leading up to the weekend.

“I get a little nervous when we get out of our routine,’’ Curtis Coach Preston Curtis said. “But he’ll be OK. You just don’t want to have any early misses. I don’t know how you can doubt him after what he did last week.’’
